BTCh Monday 8-Board 2014 Semi-Final

Results

RAC beat Honved 5-3. I contributed a win on board 2 in complex game starting with 1.d4 e5?! I won after spotting a combination after black took some liberties with king safety.

After 17..Kc7?(diagram)

After 17..Kc7 Yip-Demjen

It was not hard to find 18.Rxe5! then followed 18..de 19.Bxe5+ Rd6(diagram)

After 19..Rd6 Yip-Demjen

I missed 20.Nb5+!(the knight cannot be taken without allowing mate with 20..cb 21.Qc3+ etc) and went for 20.Rd1 piling onto the pinned rook and won more slowly. 20..Nd7 21.Bh2 f6(hoping for ..Ne5 breaking the pin) 22.Bxd6+ Qxd6 23.Qc4(hitting the queen and the exposed Rg8) 23..Qxd1+ 24.Nxd1 and I had no trouble converting the Q for R advantage.
